Canadian immigration records free on Ancestry

This collection includes passenger manifestoes, border crossings from Canada to the USA, seafarer records and a lot more besides. As you'd expect, there's a very large contingent of Irish emigrants within the records.

If you don't already have an Ancestry account, you'll need to register for a guest account. You only need to give name and email address for one of these; Ancestry emails you a password and username. There's no signing up for a subscription, no parting with your credit card details and no need to cancel anything after the free weekend finishes.

My new 82-page e-book published!

Details of all the Irish family history releases 2011-2015 in an attractive and handy e-book.

Welcome to Irish Genealogy News

Irish genealogy research is famous for being difficult, if not impossible. This reputation isn't entirely deserved, although there can be some fundamental difficulties in discovering your Irish ancestry, particularly if you don't know where your ancestors lived. That's why I launched my website, Irish Genealogy Toolkit. It's a free online guide to Irish family history research, and it's designed to helpyou to find your heritage.

This blog runs in parallel with the Toolkit and is not sponsored, aligned or connected with any commercial organisations. As its name suggests, it carries the latest Irish genealogy news and it's read by professional and amateur genealogists who recognise its independence and wide coverage of news.

Be sure to bookmark my blog's home page, and check in regularly to keep up to date with what's happening in the world of Irish family history.
